UGA's 'Ring Team' now a top-five class

When all was said and done last year, Georgia’s heralded “Dream Team” of 2011 recruits landed the Bulldogs at No. 6 in ESPN’s team recruiting rankings. With SEC Freshman of the Year Isaiah Crowell and fellow five-star and defensive end Ray Drew, Georgia bounced back from a somewhat disappointing 12th-place ranking from the year before.

Few expected Georgia to be able to replicate 2011’s success so soon, what with all the early talk of Mark Richt being on the hot seat and an 0-2 start to the season.

Funny what an SEC East title, a top-rated defense and a 10-game win streak can do for a program.
